14So Peter stood up with the other eleven apostles and spoke loudly to the crowd of people, saying, “ My fellow Jews and you others who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
15Some of you think that we(exc) are drunk , but we are not drunk. It is only nine o'clock in the morning, and people here never get drunk this early in the day!
16Instead, what has happened to us is the miraculous thing that the prophet Joel wrote about long ago. Joel wrote: God says,
17‘During the last/final days before I judge all people, I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people SYN everywhere. As a result, your sons and daughters will tell people messages from me, the young men among you will see visions from me, and the old men among you will have dreams that I will give them.
